Hello guys ,
Yesterday my device ran out of battery and turned off.
I am trying to charge it and i have already used different chargers with no success.
When i connect an AC Charger the red led blinks on and off for some time. During that time i cant do anything (device doesnt power on and even if i press Vol UP+Power Button phone remains unresponsive)
After some time the led stops blinking and remains permanent red (phone now responds when pressing Vol UP + Power Button and vibrates 3 times)
No matter how many hours i have the phone charging , it simply doesnt power on despite the fact that when pressing Vol UP + Power Button it vibrates 3 times.
I really dont like the idea of a hardware error or corrupted bootloader and i want to believe that its a battery failure....
I also tried to charge it from USB ports and even from a power bank with no success at all.
Any ideas?
^ Do you still have warranty on the product? If so I suggest contacting Sony and sending in your phone for repairs...
I have unlocked my bootloader therefore i think that if they manage to boot the phone and see that my bootloader is unlocked they will charge the repair since my warranty is voided.

Set your device in fastboot mode, and flash a new kernel (stock or stock cm).

Not an issue. As Tommy already mentioned, simply set your device into fastboot mode & relock the bootloader. Simple!

If it wont boot it probably won't go into fastboot.
Does the wall charger get warm? I had the same issue once. I tock about 4 hours before it started to charge properly
I made a last attempt and left it charge during last night and all of a sudden when i woke up in the morning i found it with screen on waiting for PIN insertion.... wtf.... Battery was at 100%. Thank God cause i was thinking the worst.
I still don't have any idea what's behind this. I ordered a second battery to test.
Given the chance I'd like to share another strange that happens since the first day i got my XZU.
1.When i charge the phone when battery surpasses 90% screen starts turning on, then after the timeout turns off and then immediately on again etc . This keeps happening till fully charged.
2. I also noticed that i can't turn off the phone using RON's power menu (no matter if stock or custom ROM). Power off just reboots the phone into ROM again.
Has anyone else noticed any of these?

never seen [1] before, [2] is a semi common bug in custom kernels, not sure why it will happen on stock
Godaemon, sounds like you have a ghost haunting your Z Ultra!!
He is keeping your phone from charging among other things...

Yesterday I flashed a custom ROM and the phone worked properly without any problems, Next day when I woke up the phone wasn't on so I figured it needs to be charged, But when I plug in the charger the LED gives the Orange light for a split second and that's it I don't even know if it's charging.
I tried to restart it with power button + volume up combination but still nothing,I left it plugged in for about 3 hours and still nothing.
I've read Posts describing the same problem and the guy got a replacement unit, I want to ask about the custom ROM I installed, would it void the warranty, I haven't unlocked the boot loader, I just rooted it and installed a recovery to flash the ROM, Would they even notice?
I just want to confirm if I had voided my warranty.
Thanks in advance!

The problem is Force shutdown doesn't work, I searched for a solution but it was no good, I found a thread with similar Problem but the guy got a replacement unit, So I thought I can get it fixed or replaced at the service center, But I'm worried about the warranty, You see, I flashed a custom ROM, So I don't know whether my warranty has been voided or not, If any one here has encountered such problem help would be much appreciated!
Here is the thread i am referring to, I have the exact same problem but this guys phone went completely dead, Mine is still giving me the LED Orange Light when I plug the charger, but for really just a split second, not even one second literally.
When I hold the power button nothing happens, and when I try to force shutdown nothing happens, no response at all.

I tried that too, when I got really desperate I just made up combinations and tried it to see if something might work, I can only guess that this is what they call a brick, right?
Anyway I sent the phone to the service center today, I don't know what's gonna happen, I just hope they fix it for me, I bought it just 2 weeks ago
I'll post the details about if it got fixed or not and what the problem was for future reference to this kind of problem
Thank you for your concern guys, I really appreciate it!
First of all I am a complete noob to jail breaking phones (if thats even correct! lol)
Ok so here is my problem. It started last night after playing Temple Run and the power went down to 13% I think. After that I left the phone and when I checked it again it was dead so I thought it was completely flat....so i plugged in the charger. After awhile I checked again and tried to turn it on but it didnt till I held the on/off button for a while and the load screen pops up and gets stuck there. Also I noticed when I plugged in the charger however the charging light does not turn on but when I turn on the phone it does. After a couple of tries the light at some point blinks.
I own a HTC one X+ (T mobile).
I dont believe it is rooted since the bootloader says "locked"
I have tried searching the forum and there were afew people with the same problem but that seems to be because they have rooted their phones and I have not. Also I tried going through the threads but could not really understand half the things being said.
Help.

Can you get into the bootloader ? (hold power + vol down)? If the phone is untouched and not rooted perhaps a factory reset will fix it.
remember to hold the power + vol down for 10 seconds so that you boot into the boatloader

I can get into bootloader. As I have said it said "locked" :/
I did try factory reset but nothing happens. And when i put it in recovery mode it just gets stuck again on load screen
If the phone is still factory stock untouched just return it under warranty. Let t-mobile deal with it

This morning, my Z ultra died on me. It wont start, no vibration, no use pressing vol + power buttons and the red switch. I was neither rooted or bootloader unlocked.
When I tried to connect it to my laptop (Windows 7), its shows as a USB device. The red LED flashes up, the computer finds it and then lets go of it again. Again in a few minutes, the red LED goes up , the computer makes the connection sound and then the red LED goes off again. This cycle goes on and on.
I cannot use SEUS, Flash, Fastboot or do anything. I have checked various forums and apparently I have not hard bricked the phone as the LED still works and the computer recognizes the problem. But no one has given any concrete solution.
When I connect it to the charger which came with the phone, the red LED pops up and then goes off again. I dont know if its charging. HOWEVER, I have used another Chinese Travel Charger, and then the red LED stays solid as if its charging. I dont know what it means.
Please help. I spent a lot behind this phone. I dont want to be left with a brick
It's not an issue if it's completely stock is it? You have your warranty, but i understand that i sucks to have it shipped in for repairs for god knows how long. I had a similar issue some time ago, but i'm bootloader unlocked and what not, so that was pretty easy to fix. You're completely stock though, so it's a little harder to do anything.
What happens if you hold VOL UP when you connect it to your computer? Does a blue LED light up? If yes, does it stay on, or does it disappear? What happens if you hold VOL DOWN when you connect it to your computer? Do you get a blinking LED and then nothing? That's normal, and it's going into Flashmode. If you can get it to stay in Flashmode you'll be able to re-flash a ROM in Flashtool. But be 100% sure to have enough battery, or else you'll be in danger of hard bricking it.
So..
- Plug the wall charger in and charge it for a couple of hours (2-3 hours)
- Try to kick it into Fastboot (VOL UP when you connect it to your computer). Look for blue LED.
- Try to kick it into Flashmode (VOL DOWN when you connect it yo your computer). No LED.
Hi LordManhattan. I dont have any warranty as I brought it from a local reseller .
Whether I press Vol UP or vom DOWN when I connect to the laptop, a red LED pops up, there is a connection sound and after that the red LED goes off and and there is a disconnection sound.
If I leave the phone connected with the computer, the phone gets connected after 2/3 minutes, there is a connection sound and then there is a disconnection sound again . Any clue what I can do :crying::crying:

just a small note or two:
Flashmode the LED should go orange, then blue then off within about 1second then it is in Flashmode
To get into either of these modes the phone has to be powered fully OFF, press the red reset button before charging to make sure, then again just before the above steps.
It sort of sounds like a corrupted loader

Have a good read of this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
It would suggest that the battery is flat. Let it charge in the wall plug for a few hours and see what happens
I have let the phone to charge overnight with the charger that came with the phone. As I said before, with that charger, the red LED would turn on and then go off again. I will hopefully try the Chinese travel charger tonight with which the red LED remains solid.
The funny thing is , the phone had about 80% charge when it died. This is so weird :'(
What You Do Before It Happen?

Nothing. Its like as if the phone soft bricked itself, probably by auto updating or something

Have you tried the reset button under the microsd flap? Press and hold for 3 secs.
I did read another user had an issue where the screen blanked for around a day, he left it plugged in and came back to it about 6 hours later and it was fine again.

I tried that and basically all the other normal options. No use. The computer recognises it as a USB Input Device and for a second or two, the red LED comes up. Same thing when I am charging

It's a battery issue most probably. I guess it doesn't show anything. Is your battery removable?
I still have not opened my phone. I am looking at all the other options first. If everything else fails, I guess I will have to open my phone

Warranty exists with Sony for first year, no matter where it's bought, very true.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
+1 contact your local sony, i had a similar problem, no fastboot/flashmode. locked bl/not rooted and my led only flashed red and occasionally solid red then nothing. plugging it into computer continuously played the disconnecting sound.
most likely hardbricked.
i also purchased my xzu from a local BST but as long as you have your imei, contact sony and theyll tell you if you have warranty. they required me to send in proof of purchase as well but like most say "play stupid" ( i said i received it as a gift and they said it was fine)
i got a brand new XZU after a week and a half sending it in.

Thank you! One or two years ago my Z Ultra's screen cracked and I got a new phone. Decided to use it again, purchased a new screen and replaced it myself today. When I tried to move to AOSP (had root, bootloader unlocked, backup of TA partition), the phone bricked. No SONY logo, nothing. Did what you said above, Xperia Companion recognized the phone in flashmode and is now downloading the newest stock rom. I was so afraid of a hard brick, that living with latest stock without root doesn't seen so bad now hahaha
Hey Friends, I have exactly the same issue. The red led just flashes up for a couple of seconds and this cycle continues. My battery was a bit swollen up and the back glass cover opened up a bit. Still battery was working fine. Two days ago I tried nougat aosp on it and after leaving it idle for 2 hours, it was bricked. I can enter into flashmode and flashed stock LP as well as KK but it does not boots up. Is it definitely battery's problem? If yes, where can I buy original or near original battery for it?

The battery is dangerous and should be removed. Be careful because the battery can burst into flames if the bloated cell get punctured.
Use tools with caution and take your time.
Lipo cells expands as a first safety trigger. Instead of going strait to venting or venting and burst into flames.
Its a safety feature if they are charged with too high current or if the cell is drained below its 2,22 volts and is brought back to life with a normal charger that puts normal current on the cell. Then even 400mA in this scenario is way too much current to start charging a drained cell with.
But the battery should not be the issue that your phone is not booting. How did you flash stock rom? With Flashtool?

I had a similar issue 2 times with months in between , no response from power+vol up , no lights when charging , no response from pressing on the red button behind the flaps, last time it happened after a reboot from an update and still having plenty of battery left.
I tried putting it on the charger for a whole day with no result , put it back in the box to return it , decided to let it rest a few days first , since someone had the same issue and it magically came back to life when he got back from a vacation.
So i try to turn it on 2 days later and it worked again magically indeed, functions totally restored till this day.
Hope this helps a bit

If it's like the Z1 Tablet you could try a complete power down by pressing the volume up/down, and power button for several seconds, then try to do a recovery via the Sony PC companion (so long as you can get into flash mode), if it works you'll loose all data, but it's worth it IMO

I've got something like this going on too. Plugging it into a blackberry playbook charger seemed to give it a charge when the OEM charger wouldn't work. It came back to life. I've also noticed that the tablet won't sleep properly while charging. I plug it in, hit the power button to sleep, and it wakes it self as though I plugged a charger in. And so I cycles dimming the screen to sleep and then seconds later like u tap the power button to get the screen to wake. Something s definitely wrong.

I'd the same on my SGP511 yesterday when rooting failed. Just charge for an hour using Sony charger, then press POWER + VOLUME for more than 60 seconds. It vibrates three times and resume from death. Cheers!
It seems like some of these boards may be failing. I think this issue is related to the screen not powering off while charging issue. Users are reporting that Sony is repairing the devices by replacing their main boards. I wonder if there is a known issue with z2 tabs that Sony is aware of.
My z2 tab has both of these problems. I flashed a factory ftf to it and it still had the problem. This is what led me to believe that it was hardware related as it didn't used to do it running cm11 or stock firmware.
I had this happen to me once or twice, though in my case I could recover via power + up/down (can't remember lol) .
In the end my tablet developed other symptoms (namely inability to magnetic charge, and screen stays always on when charged) so i sent it off for repair and they replaced the motherboard.
Hasn't happened since, though I only have had it back for a few weeks. Touch wood.

Yep as in these tablets the flash/CPU/RAM etc. is baked into the mobo so its more or less getting a new tablet internally.
to my shame I updated it without remembering you can only root the older firmware which it did come with ROFL.... oh well the only thing I use root for is adblock

Can't you just use flashtools to downgrade your tablet back to the rootable 4.4.2 firmware?
I managed to downgrade my xperia z2 4g tablet with flashtools application.
Only hiccup was that i accidentally put my tablet in bootloop while i tried to downgrade it, after that i just rooted and installed dual recovery. With that dual recovery i could flash pre rooted 4.4.4 and so i still have my drm keys and ps4 remote play app.
Hello, yesterday I got my new Redmi Note 3. After hour or so using it, installing apps, adjusting settings and such I locked it and a minute later it didn't turn on (last time I checked the battery was around 30%). I've tried a lot of things: connecting it to my PC, holding every combination of buttons (just power button, just volume down, just volume up, power+volume down, power+volume up, I haven't tried only the volume up+volume down combination). I've also left it charging over the night using my Galaxy s3 mini charger (I live in Europe so I can't charge it here with provided charger) and still nothing, literally no reaction. Then HonorBuy's suport sent me an email that says I have to remove the sticker from the battery, it wasn't until they realised that the battery is non-removable that I have to close the back cover. Then they told me that I try charging it on the computer for at least an hour. Will that help considering that I've already charged it normally the whole night? Or do you guys maybe have some other idea what might be the problem?
I forgot, that hour or so when the phone actually worked, worked perfectly.
Thank you.
did you manage to get your phone fixed? im having the same problem. phone just died randomly.

I also got the same problem today...but i mamaged to fix it...Firstly hold vol down and power button...the device will boot into fastboot mode ...secondly after entering into fast boot mode...hold volume up + power for 10 seconds....now your phone will reboot ormally...Thats it...No big deal...
I had the same problem right after I connected the phone with an aux- it died and started heating up. I tried all the above suggestions except the reboot because I didn't want any data lost. All I did was put it in rice for 10 minutes, even though I knew rice is meant for phones when they've got wet. After 10 mins, I pressed the power button and it worked!
Hope it works for you,too.
The same problem is happening with me after I tried to restore a TWRP backup.
I can't really enter fastboot as phone is not charging.
I'm having the same issue with my Redmi Note 3 phone. Just opened it from the box, charged a bit and turned it on. Everything worked except when I turned it off again to charge it faster and later tried to turned it on.
The phone is now completely dead, no charging screen, and it's slowly heating up. Is this a manufacturing error or can I do something to fix it?

This happened to me too. I think I factory wiped in twrp and went from cm13 to miui then it stopped charging.
No amount of flashing fixed it. Fast boot, EDL nothing worked and xiaomi won't help.
I came across only few people that had this but they seemed to suggest some partition being corrupted going from CM to miui. I couldn't find details about which partition though, not very substantial claims.
I read somewhere that it could be a bug of the version of a specific TWRP, but without sure.
In my case, I flashed Xiaomi.eu with success on CM, and after that restored again CM.
CM -> Xiaomi.eu -> CM
I sent it to a (unofficial) repair center and they just flashed the ROM on my phone. Probably using pin test or something similar.

I tried all of that. I had about 80% battery when I noticed it's not charging so I had plenty of battery to flash things. I tried anything and everything that was suggested to me in the xiaomi forums but nothing worked.
Did you send it to an official xiaomi service center?
No. I just sent it to a local generic phone service center. I imported mine from China without warranty.

Well that gives me some hope. Where are you? In the UK the phone is rare so I'm worried that they won't know what to do with it.

I'm from Portugal and it is also rare her but they solve it in a few days with just a small price. Try to find a specialized smartphone repair center near you as it looks like a small issue.
